Which was may be wise since trying to find such criteria will
certainly prove very difficult. Apparently, there was only two
suggested, the size of the installed base, and the leaks to the USG
root. The first one contradicts the very common statement that P2P
developers should humbly ask for a special-use TLD *before* deploying
their software. It is also a difficult criterium for software which
claims to provide privacy and therefore have difficulties computing
statistics. The second criterium, leaks to the root, is too easy to
forge.
